33 CFR Parts 100 and 165
[CGD 98-004]
Safety Zones, Security Zones, and Special Local Regulations
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Notice of temporary rules issued.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document provides required notice of substantive rules
adopted by the Coast Guard and temporarily effective between October 1,
1997 and December 31, 1997, which were not published in the Federal
Register. This quarterly notice lists temporary local regulations,
security zones, and safety zones, which were of limited duration and
for which timely publication in the Federal Register may not have been
possible.
DATES: This notice lists temporary Coast Guard regulations that became
effective and were terminated between October 1, 1997 and December 31,
1997, as well as several regulations which were not included in the
previous quarterly list.
ADDRESSES: The complete text of these temporary regulations is
available on request, from the Executive Secretary, Marine Safety
Council (G-LRA/3406), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20593-0001, or may be viewed and copied in
room 3406 of the same address between 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays. The telephone number is (202)
267-1477.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Christopher S. Keane at (202) 267-6233 between the hours of
8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District Commanders and Captains of the Post
(COTP) must be immediately responsive to the safety needs of the waters
within their jurisdiction; therefore, District Commanders and COTPs
have been delegated the authority to issue certain local regulations.
Safety zones may be established for safety or environmental purposes. A
safety zone may be stationary and described by fixed limits or it may
be described as a zone around a vessel in motion. Security zones limit
access to vessels, ports, or waterfront facilities to prevent injury or
damage. Special local regulations are issued to enhance the safety of
participants and spectators at regattas and other marine events. Timely
publication of these regulations in the Federal Register is often
precluded when a regulation responds to an emergency, or when an event
occurs without sufficient advance notice. However, the affected public
is informed of these regulations through Local Notices to Mariners,
press releases, and other means. Moreover, actual notification is
provided by Coast Guard patrol vessels enforcing the restrictions
imposed by the regulation. Because mariners are notified by Coast Guard
officials on-scene prior to enforcement action, Federal Register notice
is not required to place the special local regulation, security zone,
or safety zone in effect. However, the Coast Guard, by law, must
publish in the Federal Register notice of substantive rules adopted. To
discharge this legal obligation without imposing undue expense on the
public, the Coast Guard periodically publishes a list of these
temporary special local regulations, security zones, and safety zones.
Permanent regulations are not included in this list because they are
published in their entirety in the Federal Register. Temporary
regulations may also be published in their entirety if sufficient time
is available to do so before they are placed in effect or terminated.
The safety zones, special local regulations and security zones listed
in this notice have been exempted from review under Executive Order
12866 because of their emergency nature, or limited scope and temporary
effectiveness.
The following regulations were placed in effect temporarily during
the period October 1, 1997 and December 31, 1997, unless otherwise
indicated.
Dated: February 2, 1998.
Michael L. Emge,
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Executive Secretary, Marine Safety
Council.
